authorities specifically as it relates to 

defense of critical infrastructure. The

Meeting Accessibility: In accordance 

with section 1009(d) of the FACA and 

41 CFR 102- 3.155, the DoD has 

determined that between 8:30 a.m. to 

11:45 a.m. the meeting will be closed to 

the public. Specifically, the USD(P&R), 

in coordination with the DoD FACA 

attorney, has determined in writing that 

this portion of the meeting will be 

closed to the public because it is likely 

to disclose classified matters covered by 

5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). Such classified 

material is so intertwined with the 

unclassified material that it cannot 

reasonably be segregated into separate 

discussions without defeating the 

effectiveness and meaning of these 

portions of the meeting. Pursuant to 

section 1009(a)(1) of the FACA and 41 

CFR 102–3.140 and 102–3.150, the 

portions of the meeting from 11:50 a.m. 

to 2:30 p.m. are open to the public. All 

members of the public who wish to 

attend the public meeting must contact 

Mr. Eric Flowers, DFO, no later than 

7:00 a.m. on Wednesday, December 6, 

2023, at 703–697–1795 or 703–945– 

5203, or eric.p.flowers2.civ@mail.mil. 

Written Statements: Pursuant of Title 

41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and section 

1009(a)(3) of the FACA, the public and 

interested parties may submit written 

statements to the RFPB at any time 

about its approved agenda or at any time 

on the RFPB’s mission. Written 

statements should be submitted to the 

RFPB’s DFO at the address or email 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section. If statements pertain to 

a specific topic being discussed at the 

meeting that is the subject of this notice, 

then these statements must be submitted 

no later than 3 business days prior to 

the scheduled meeting date. Written 

statements received after this date may 

not be provided to or considered by the 

RFPB until its next scheduled meeting. 

The DFO will review all timely 

submitted written statements and 

provide copies to the RFPB members 

before the meeting that is the subject of 

this notice. Please note that all 

submitted comments will be made 

available for public inspection, 

including but not limited to being 

posted on the RFPB’s website.
